Very nice minang kebau keris.
Followed the "auction" as well.

Sold all my minang kerisses some time ago but was tempted again to join the bidding. It looks like a very nice original combo.

Look forward to better pictures of the hilt!!!

Regards, Erik

Hi Erik,

Too bad... the package did not arrive today.
So I will have to wait till monday.

It was brought back by someone who worked in Indonesia in the 1920's - 1930's. I am also quite curious about the hilt.
Looks pretty strange to me. as if it has been painted with red and gold paint

Best regards,
Willem

Hello Willem,

Nice Minang blade! Not too sure about the selut and the hilt though.

Any new pics?

Regards,
Kai

Not to sure about the selut either...

I am busy cleaning the blade and thinking about another selut because this one is really below any quality.

Hilt is nice . carved and painted in red and gold. a bit weird but seems genuine.

Will post some pics when the blade is cleaned.
